Date: Feb. 14, 2026 Participant: Jo Alldredge #17901 Race: 2026 Mesa 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Consistent Start with Strategic Focus Needed Jo Alldredge completed the 2026 Mesa Marathon 10K in 1:50:33, maintaining a consistent pace for the initial segments. The first mile was quite steady at a 16:26 min/mile pace, which positioned her well at 745th in her gender category. As the race progressed, the pace slightly decreased, ending with a final average of 17:49 min/mile. While positions varied, an improvement was noted in the 3-mile split where Jo reclaimed her ranking within the F35-39 division, moving to 88th position. The latter part of the race indicated a challenge maintaining earlier speeds, as observed in the 19:06 min/mile pace at mile four. A potential area for review could be pacing strategy beyond the initial miles to sustain momentum and improve division placement. Her performance as part of the team "Between a Walk and a Hard Pace" reflects determination and provides a solid foundation for future races.
